A single-vehicle collision occurred early this morning in Livermore, California, involving a gray Chevrolet Equinox that struck a guardrail. The incident was reported at approximately 5:26 AM, with emergency services dispatched shortly before at 5:00 AM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the crash.
The collision caused debris to scatter across the northbound lanes of Vasco Road, particularly at the intersection with Los Vaqueros Road. Consequently, all northbound lanes were temporarily stopped to allow for the safe clearing of debris. Emergency crews, including the California Highway Patrol and fire services, arrived on the scene promptly at 5:27 AM to manage the situation and ensure public safety.
Initially classified as a traffic collision with unknown injuries, the incident was later reclassified to "No Injuries" at 5:08 AM. The Chevrolet Equinox was high-centered on the concrete debris, which resulted in damage to the guardrail and required attention from Caltrans.
A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the vehicle, which was successfully towed away after the area was cleared of debris. The roadway was partially obstructed during the incident, but emergency responders worked efficiently to minimize traffic impact and restore normal flow as quickly as possible.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially in adverse conditions. The California Highway Patrol encourages all motorists to remain vigilant and cautious while navigating roadways, particularly during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
